It really is a personal matter. Only you can know how you feel about them.

The light on the Glo is good but no as even as the Aura's. In the early stages it was bluish and too bright to some to read in a dark room. Later the Glo got a yellowish light and apparently it's not as bright as it used to be.
Yet the Glo is the first gen. lighted kobo ereader, whereas the Aura is of the second gen. (if it's the same as the Aura HD, otherwise it could be third gen.).
Another difference is in the screen: IR for the Glo, capacitive for the Aura.

Depending on how important those differences are for you, one or the other can meet more your needs.
